Xiaomi smartphones support wireless charging in 2026: a full list of models and technical details

Wireless charging is no longer an exclusive feature of flagship smartphones, and is now found even in mid-range devices. However, Xiaomi has a selective approach to adopting the technology: not all models, even premium ones, are Qi-standard. Why is this happening? It's about the balance between cost, body thickness and the actual demand for the feature among users.

If you’re planning to buy a new Xiaomi, Redmi or POCO smartphone and want to be sure of wireless charging, this guide will help you get a nuanced sense of the nuances. We’ve analyzed all the current models from 2020-2026, including regional versions, and identified key technical limitations. For example, some devices only support 10W power, while flagships accelerate to 50W – and this fundamentally affects the charging speed.

It’s important to understand that even if your Xiaomi smartphone doesn’t officially support wireless charging, there are workarounds (such as USB-C adapters to Qi receivers), but these methods have pitfalls, from overheating to loss of warranty, which we’ll discuss below.

Official list of Xiaomi smartphones with wireless charging (2026)

Xiaomi has been introducing wireless charging into its devices since 2019, but the technology has only been mass-produced in the Mi and Xiaomi lineups (without the Redmi/POCO prefix). Below is the current list of models confirmed by the manufacturer. Please note: regional versions (for example, for India or China) may have other characteristics!

• 📱 Xiaomi 14 Pro — 50W (highest power in the lineup)
• 📱 Xiaomi 13 Pro — 50W, compatible Qi2
• 📱 Xiaomi 12 Pro — 50W, requires a proprietary station
• 📱 Xiaomi 11 Pro / Ultra — 67W (Only in the Chinese version)
• 📱 Xiaomi Mix 4 — 50W, temperature-limited
• 📱 Xiaomi Civi 3 — 33W (rarity)
• 📱 Xiaomi Pad 6 Pro — 33W (single-tablet support)

The Xiaomi 13 Ultra is worth mentioning separately: despite its flagship status, in some regions (e.g. Europe), this model was shipped without wireless charging due to certification restrictions.

Why not all Xiaomi flagships support Qi charging?

At first glance, it seems logical that the more expensive a smartphone is, the more modern technology it has, but Xiaomi often makes trade-offs. Here are the key reasons why even top-end models may lose wireless charging:

1. Body thickness: efficient power transfer requires space for a coil. Ultra-thin smartphones (such as the Xiaomi 13 without the Pro console) often sacrifice this feature for design.
2. Component cost: Qualcomm or MediaTek certified Qi modules increase the cost of the device by 15-20%.
3. Regional restrictions: In some countries (e.g. India) wireless charging certification takes up to 6 months, so manufacturers are making it easier to complete.
4. Emphasis on wired technologies: Xiaomi is actively promoting ultrafast wired charging (120W+), which is objectively faster than any Qi solution.

Interesting fact: in 2022, Xiaomi patented wireless charging technology through the air (without contact with the surface), but its serial implementation is not expected until 2026. Qi2-The standard (magnetic mount) is supported only in Xiaomi 13 Pro and 14 Pro.

Wireless charging power: what does 10W, 30W, 50W mean?

The numbers in the performance (10W, 30W, 50W) indicate the maximum power a charger can transmit, but the actual speed depends on three factors:

A critical nuance: Xiaomi smartphones with support for 50W require the mandatory use of the original charging station. For example, Xiaomi 14 Pro when connected to a third-party Qi panel will automatically limit power to 10W. This is due to the proprietary Mi Turbo Charge protocol, which is not compatible with standard solutions.

⚠️ Warning: If your smartphone is warming up while wirelessly charging, immediately turn it off. overheating above 45°C can damage the battery. Xiaomi 13 Pro and newer has built-in protection at 40°C power is automatically reduced to 10W.

How to check wireless charging support on your Xiaomi?

If you are not sure if your smartphone has a Qi module, use these methods:

Make sure the model is on the official list (see section above)

See the specifications on mi.com (select your region)

Launch AIDA64 and check Battery → Wireless charging

Try to put your smartphone on a knowingly working Qi-station (the charging icon should appear)

-->

Important: Some firmware (such as custom LineageOS) may disable wireless charging support due to kernel errors. If your device officially supports the feature but it doesn't work, try:

1. Reset the settings to factory (Settings → About phone → Reset).
2. Update the firmware through MIUI Updater.
3. Check the integrity of the contacts on the back cover (sometimes after falls, the Qi module plume departs).

If none of the methods worked, but the model should support charging, contact the service center - the power controller may be faulty.

Bypass: How to add wireless charging to non-conductive models

For Xiaomi smartphones without built-in Qi module, there are two main solutions:

1. Adapters (for example, Nillkin Magic Disk): ✅ Cheap (500-1500) ₽) ✅ Compatible with any model ❌ Power is not greater than 5W ❌ Requires connection to USB-C (port)

Replacement of the rear cover with module

Redmi Note 12 Pro+

• ✅ Full-fledged 15W charging
• ✅ Not blocking the port.
• ❌ Complicated installation (needs soldering iron)
• ❌ Risk of losing the guarantee

Warning: Adapters with AliExpress are often uncertified and can damage the battery.Before buying, check reviews on thematic forums (for example, 4PDA or XDA-Developers).

💡

If you use an adapter sticker, remove the case while charging - it can block the signal and cause overheating.

Comparison with competitors: how Xiaomi is lagging (or ahead?) other brands

For objectivity, compare Xiaomi with other manufacturers on the key parameters of wireless charging:

As you can see from the table, Xiaomi leads in maximum power (along with Oppo), but loses in availability for the mid- and budget segments. for example, Samsung offers Qi charging even in the Galaxy A-series, and Apple has standardized MagSafe for all new iPhones.

Xiaomi, on the other hand, is the only brand to venture into 50W in production smartphones.For comparison, the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra is still limited to 15W.

💡

If you want the highest wireless charging speed, the Xiaomi 14 Pro is the best choice on the market in 2026.But be prepared for the high price and be sure to buy a branded station.

Frequent problems and their solutions

Xiaomi wireless charging users often encounter common errors, and here are the most common ways to fix them:

• 🔋 Charging is interrupted by 80%: This is not a bug, but a feature: Xiaomi has activated battery protection. To turn it off, go to Settings → Battery → Charging modes and select Quick Charging.
• 🔌 Smartphone does not recognize charging station: Check if the station supports EPP (Extended Power Profiles: Cheap Qi panels often only work on the same standard. 5W. Also clean the contacts on the back cover of the smartphone from dust.
• 🔥 Overheating while charging: Remove the case, move the smartphone to a cool place and reduce power manually (if there is such an option). 13/14 Pro can enable cooling mode in battery settings.
• ⚡ Slow charging (longer than 3 hours): Make sure you use the original station. for example, the Xiaomi 14 Pro on a third-party Qi panel will charge 5 times slower.

⚠️ Warning: If after the fall, the smartphone stopped supporting wireless charging, do not try to disassemble it yourself. 12/13/14 Qi module is integrated into the middle (frame), and its replacement requires a complete disassembly of the body.
